\begin{gathered} 96+2w=2(80-3w)\rightarrow \\ 96+2w=160-6w\text{ or} \\ 48+w=80-3w \\ \end{gathered}

You have a mistake in the first step, you should distribute the 2 first, or divide by two, and after that you can follow the procedure as you were doing. Do you understand it?


\begin{gathered} 48+w=80-3w \\ w+3w=80-48 \\ 4w=32 \\ w=(32)/(4)=8 \end{gathered}

w=8 is the answer
